Appetite still high and gaining weight
Hey everyone!
Hope you're all kicking goals on this diet.
I (41M) am about to complete week 8. I've been a good boy - beef, lamb, butter, bacon and eggs. Plenty of fat, too. Only vices have been tea and black coffee.
I hear people mention how they are losing lots of weight in a short amount of time. Weight loss was never my goal (mental health, lethargy etc) as I was lean when I began this way of eating.
I've put on about 5kg/10lbs since I started. It's no big deal because I can lose it later but how long will it be before I'm not consistently feeling the need to eat 3, calorie heavy meals a day? Isn't this diet supposed to be satiating? When does that happen?
I may need more time to adapt but if things continue as they are, I'll put more weight on which is something I'd rather not do. Would love to get to a point where I can wake up in the morning not feeling hungry or have a light brekky and then nothing until dinner time. Anyway, I'm off to the kitchen for more bacon and eggs.
Appreciate your help!
